MAKING REPORTS FROM ASP-APPLICATION WITH IE5 BROWSER
We have created application with ASP pages and SQL-databases. We want to
make it possible that users can print-out the data, in a professional
looking report, and only useing the browser (IE5) . The only possibility we
have now is to make a print-out from the browser-print-button. With this
button we have no control over page-layout etc...
My question is, do you know what technology I have to use and where can I
find information about it.

variety of choices, the more complicated (expensive ones) first:
- buy a commercial report product (i.e. Crystal) you get Java applets for
them which display the report in the browser and you keep initial design
over which you have full control.
- format all in plain HTML, try to keep track while building the page and
via style's insert page breaks etc.
- If the report has not too much variable data, if embarked on building it
in word, saving it as *.rtf and then changing the rtf code at run-time,
which get's pushed back to the client with a response.type setting to word.
This way the report pop's up in word (which I can rely on people to have
luckily) and they print from there. Unbeatable in cost and design quality -
not too easy to build.
